My Australia outfits

One of the best things about going on holiday is planning your wardrobe for the trip. I love buying all new outfits and then planning out what I’m going to wear for what during the holiday. Here’s what I wore during our three weeks in Australia…

Swimwear and cover-ups

Of course, one of the first things to consider when you’re going on holiday to a hot destination is your swimwear – especially if you’re going to be spending plenty of time on the beach or by the pool. I did a quick ASOS haul before I went, as there was a big sale on and purchased a couple of bikins and swimming costumes. I also got a bikini from Next and one of my other favourites is Red Herring at Debenhams.

I was also sent this gorgeous one-piece from UK Swimwear and I wore it on our trip to Whitehaven Bay in the Whitsunday Islands. It’s perfect for pool parties too, so I’ll probably recycle it on my trip to Ibiza in June.

I love something that you can just throw on over your swimwear and this tunic from Miss Tunica is perfect for that. With the added embellishment round the neckline and sleeves, it can take you straight from the beach to the bar for some tropical cocktails. White looks awesome with a tan too!

Not forgetting my skin care

The most important thing to wear when you’re on holiday is your sun cream. The sun is super strong in Australia and so it’s important to wear SPF 50 and to keep applying sun cream throughout the day to keep your skin safe. This holiday I tried out Calypso‘s sun cream range and it kept me from getting burnt and left me with a long-lasting tan.
